Thats not true I was at Ford (E&F Engine and Foundry) from 1966 to 1980 at the time this is not true only the 68 early 10 car build by Stroupe had the aluminum intake along with the lite weight valves!

The cars built with the PI aluminum intake were run in S/S only. Stock had to use the cast iron intake. It has been that way up until 8/21/12 when the bogus change got put in the spec sheet.

In my research it appears you need to go find any dealer performance catalog from any manufacturer and get approved whatever parts were sold over the counter. I dont see why the stretch is not made to put the cross ram on all amc V-8 engines because it does not specify what motor it goes on. Stock is nearing its end and like i said i am going to complete my bucket list before we are merged into some other grand plan.

These changes are making Nostalgia SS look better and more legit all the time

Stock ended over 27 years ago anyway. Why all the bitching?
